Saw a great idea on twitter, have the first tee live streamed in the clubhouse with pro tracer.
What one change would you make at your club?

Bins for broken tees on every tee. Been off mats on every par 3 tee and the no. of broken tees, especially green plastic ones is appalling. Might as well as have the bins on all the other tees as well.

The one main thing we do not have at our club is a decent short game practice area.
We used to but one part of the land including a practice bunker and green was taken for the new secretary's office and later the second practice area, green and bunker was taken for range access, a storage are for the waste bins and practice nets.

I am intrigued by that wish.
Where I play the green staff start some where between 5 and 6 in the morning. They finish at 3pm so some might think they are only part time.

Move it to the coast so winter isn't akin to playing on Mud Island.

Get at least one of the 9 hole loops rated for WHS. The course is very much layed out in 2 loops but only the full 18 is listed in myEG for handicapping.
I’d love to see our place take the bold decision to shut occasionally when the weather warrants it.
The management are so Hell bent on being the only club for miles around to stay open during the wettest weather that the course is ridiculously overplayed - ironically by members of the clubs which close - and as a result we often enter spring with it in an horrific state.
It is currently the muddiest I have ever seen it. Combining the wet weather, the churning effect of trollies and way too much traffic, and the lack of growth during the drought last year, means the areas surrounding many greens will need weeks or longer to recover.

Where I play probably had one of the best practice areas in the county, a proper large spacious green that ran like the course, plus another green for chipping & pitching along with 2 proper bunkers...
Until Warner, in their wisdom, ripped it all out for a car park! The week the diggers turned up I think a few members caught some flies in their eyes
Would love to have it back. But have to begrudgingly admit the car park is pretty okay, and the new area is being prepared. It won't be a patch on the previous though.

That sounds a slog.
Think ours (back tees) are about 170 (downhill) 145, 202 and 150. Tough to par any of them.

That is a joke. Proper weekend comps should be a draw. A single joining a club has little chance of integrating into the club. Open to cheating also.

We have just the three drawn comps , singles have no issues integrating new members in the club

Our place is similar! The only saving grace this year is the grounds staff have actually roped off the front of the greens and some high traffic football areas but it’s a mud bath a lot of the time.

So how do they?We have just the three drawn comps , singles have no issues integrating new members in the club
Why only have 3 drawn comps?
Our summer Thursday medals are the only ones where you can arrange your own partners. Weekend one throughout the year are all drawn.

They contact organisers of swindles , play in empty spots ,enter matchplays , play in club matches - lots of ways to meet people and integrate
And we only need 3 drawn , the rest you can play with who you want - it’s what suits the members
People want to play with their friends, it’s a hobby for us all

Sounds like it’s the old ‘Course I play with existing mates’ Vs ‘Club’ dichotomy
We all want different things. Some want to be a member to play a course many times at a reduced rate, others want to belong to a Club
Horses for courses and all

Well the one thing we are for most is a club.
